Grohe Fixtures

Because many customers prefer to shop
by collections, not the type of fixture or installation, we decided
to create a review dedicated to some of Grohe's most popular
collections – designs that have become the topics of discussions
not only among décor artists and plumbing professionals, but also
between experienced homemakers. Like most competitors selections
(American Standard, Kohler, Delta Faucet, and particularly Moen)
Grohe fixture and faucet collections fall under three main
categories: Traditional, Transition, and Contemporary.

Traditional

Traditional lines – Kensington,
Seabury, Bridgeford – will usually replicate stylistic features
from Victorian era, early pipework patterns, and other turn of the
20th century designs. They create a nostalgic, historical
look and generate a distinct classic atmosphere: installed usually
only in the bathroom, where aesthetic play an important role, they
are given space to instill the proper ambience and play out their
“character.”

Transitional

Transitional collections (Geneva,
Arden, Somerset) tone down the retro elements, opting for a more
modern, art-deco or industrial influences. These fixtures both
anticipate recent minimalism and pay tribute to traditional ideas;
standing between orthodox and unorthodox, they emerge as Grohe's
most aesthetically eclectic products.

The ultra-modern Rainshower collections
deserves a special mention – this line of hand showers employs
previously unseen in the industry shapes, especially the circular
doughnut shape, that while introduce verve and surprise into the
lavatory and the showering experience, also enhance the technologies
they carry: in particular the therapeutic DreamSpray.

In all styles offered by Grohe, chrome
and nickel finishes emerge as the most common (clearly preferred by
the brand): relying on StarLight trademark technology, they preserve
the visuals of the metallic pieces more effectively, reflecting
light, repelling soil, and resisting scratches.
